Bundle of Boy

I thought it would be a good idea to put Ethan in this snow outfit for our outing today. He barely fit in the car seat with it on. When we were in Meijer I think he started to overheat so I had to unzip him. He looked really cute, but probably the only time he will wear this.

Big Foot

He has cute feet- big feet like his mother. At least he's a boy and won't be embarassed later on in life when he has to tell the bowling alley attendent his shoe size.

Photo Shoot

Ethan and I had a photo shoot today. I'm trying to get some good pictures for his birth anouncement- he doesn't sit still very well!

Alexandra and Ethan

Ethan and I go over to my cousin's house for a change of scenery and to visit, it's nice to get out- although the past few weeks the weather was trying to make it difficult!

Good Morning

In Nonna's Tub

Ethan took a bath with me at nonna's the other night. He loves the water and had a great time.

Hello Again

Ethan tagged along to my six week appointment with my ob. He was a little fussy so we decided to keep him in the car seat for the photo. Dr. Florido delivered Ethan so it was nice that they got a chance to catch up!

Target here we come!

Today Ethan and I went to Target by ourselves! I was a little nervous that he would wake up in the store, realize he's hungry and start screaming at the top of his lungs. He didn't, he slept the entire time. In this picture we are about to leave, he can hardly contain himself.

Dad and Ethan

Chiara wanted a picture with one of us holding Ethan so she could see how much he has grown. Here Ethan is hanging out with Jim before he leave for work.

Fatty in the Bath

Ethan really loves bath time. He gets really relaxed and just watches us as we wash him. Sometimes he gets so relaxed, he pees straight up in the air, which is why the orange wash cloth is placed where it is! He even gave us a smile during his bath yesterday.

Almost Smiles

Ethan smiles quite a bit, but I can't tell if it's just reflexes or if he is smiling at me. Here are a few of his smiles caught with the camera. On a side note, he just loves that bouncer, it really is a neglecto-matic, as Chiara would say!

I am getting very, very angry!

Ethan ready to explode. He gets upset when it is almost time to eat and I'm not working as fast as he would like.

One Month Old

Some pictures of Ethan yesterday.

Morning on the changing table

Ethan loves to be changed. These were taken yesterday, February 11, when he was exactly one month old. Time has flown over this past month. The days just seem to melt together, feeding, changing, crying, rocking, sleeping, and back to feeding. He has grown so much over the past month. What I notice the most is how his hands seems to be getting bigger and fatter every day. When people haven't seen him in a few days they always comment on how much bigger he has gotten.

Hey Fatty!

Ethan is now 3 weeks old. He had a doctor appointment a few days ago and now weighs 10lbs 4oz. He has gained two full pounds since his last doctor appointment (when he was 4 days old.) If he continues at this rate he is going to be huge- which is okay with me because I love fat babies!

After Bath Time

Ehtan does very well with baths. He'll just sit there and look around. This was after his first shampoo, which he didn't like as much as the bath, but recovered quickly.

Cute Outfit part 2

Ethan modeling another cute outfit. Dressing little boys is so much fun!

Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Dan and Ethan

It took the family about a week to realize that Ethan makes Dan and Bonnie and aunt and unlce for the first time.

Uncle James meets Ethan

Ethan better get used to all the funny faces Uncle James makes.
